Unlike the M3, the M5 styling has never really grown on me, but it kept you from selling the Z1 so its all good, enjoy.

I tried an E92 M3. It didn't do a whole heap for me, weirdly. I actually preferred both the 1M and the 135i to it.

M5 is on another level though. Stupid amounts of power and it sounds epic. Definite shades of Lamborghini.

On a regular basis no doubt!

My day was just considerably improved by the discovery that the car is fitted with a Tubi exhaust system...

£2,400 + VAT + fitting apparently, and adds a wholly unnecessary extra 23bhp!

Listen to the video clips - especially the first. Sounds a bit like an F1 car!

Hee hee!
